<span>The first number = x
The </span>second number = 2x-3

x + 2x-3 = 36
3x = 36+3
3x = 39
x = 39/3
x = 13

The first number = x = 13
The second number = 2x-3 = 2*13 - 3 = 26 - 3 = 23

Illusion [34]

The total length of the fence is 48 m if the rectangular swimming pool measures 7.5 m by 4.5 m.

<h3>What is rectangle?</h3>

It is defined as the two-dimensional geometry in which the angle between the adjacent sides are 90 degree. It is a type of quadrilateral.

It is defined as the area occupied by the rectangle in two-dimensional planner geometry.

The area of a rectangle can be calculated using the following formula:

Rectangle area = length x width

It is given that:

A rectangular swimming pool measures 7.5 m by 4.5 m.

It is completely surrounded by a fence parallel to each edge of the pool and at a distance of 3 m from each edge of the pool.

The total length of the fence = 2(7.5+3×2 + 4.5+3×2)

The total length of the fence = 2(7.5+6 + 4.5+6)

The total length of the fence = 2(24)

The total length of the fence = 48 m

Thus, the total length of the fence is 48 m if the rectangular swimming pool measures 7.5 m by 4.5 m.

Answer:

5y^{6}\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to  simplify:

\sqrt{50y^{12}}

We rewrite as:

\sqrt{2\times25 \times (y^{6})^2}

We split the radical sign to obtain:

\sqrt{25} \times \sqrt{(y^{6})^2} \times \sqrt{2}

Simplify the square root for the perfect squares to get:

5y^{6}\sqrt{2}

Therefore the simplified form is: 5y^{6}\sqrt{2}
